The first-half & the second-half of this show are so drastically different in presentation & story-telling, that i feel inclined to seperate the review & rating for each part. The first-half is very interesting & has good-character development. I genuinely felt interested in the plot, and the excellent chemistry & unusual attraction between the lead male & female characters. The show keeps a decent pace & spark through this phase & recieves a 9/10 from me.

Now the second half was where everything fall apart. The director was trying to be unpredictable, and ends up ruining his own introduced concepts & relationships. There is an excess of dislikable plot-twists & things just don't seem to go in the right direction anymore. There are also plenty of goofs & obvious plot-holes present. This phase recieves a disappointing 7/10 for me.

Overall, i could even it out at 8/10, but the second-half left a poor after-taste in my mind, and hence, i cannot overlook it. This show had a lot of potential, but the director screwed it up for me. At least the ending isn't too bad, but left me wanting more.

Such complex and profound story line. It never gets boring. A marvelous mixture between crime, drama, sci-fi and action. Highly recommended!

The plot and premises are really captivating and promising. The first 6-7 episodes were great, except for some useless or overdramatic lenghts. But as the episodes go, the characters become more silly and dumb, I guess to increase the dramatic tension (most of the time overplayed, like most Korean TV shows). I lost interested because of that, too bad cause that was a really interesting SF plot.

The actors must have gone through hundreds of cry sticks making this series, tears in every episode without fail.

However that doesn't make it a bad show, I really enjoyed it. Lots of plot twists to keep you guessing. The main actors played their parts to perfection. But its the non-main actors that seem to ham it up. The females are dipsy and the males are dimwits.

The big question that really needs answering though is, why is the time-travel headquarters called ALICE?

Even though the beginning was nice, the plot has became cheaper and emotional, there were lots of contradictions, which was annoying. A lot of unnecessary scenes, that has no place in the plot and the writers did not even try to connect these scenes to the main plot.

Motherhood praising was overwhelmingly exaggerated, women portrayed incapable and illogical even the smartest one is incapable of defending herself and making healthy choices.

Towards the end, the story became a twisted, cheesy and amateur version of dark, which is really disappointing. I mean this could be a nice series, just with adding a little bit of more science, cutting of 90% of the emotional scenes and creating an original plot.
